Safety First on the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale

All railroads strive to reduce accidents and injuries, so reflecting this mandate on my layout is an opportunity to create a small diorama within the layout.

The large banner on the side of the Engine Maintenance and Repair Shop draws the eye. Using my computer and Photoshop software I was able to take the classic poster of the engine that had fallen out of the station platform in Paris and build a safety poster, “Safety is a Choice, Not a Chance.”

Safety Is A Choice!

Directly below the poster are a couple of employees proudly changing the workplace accident sign from 12 to “13 Days Without an Accident.” The ladder has been placed on top of an old trailer, and is not quite long enough, forcing the worker to stand on the top rung. His aid and spotter is neither holding the ladder or spotting his companion and is occupied with reading the poster.

As there is no ladder to the top of the trailer, we must assume that both men used the same ladder to climb to the roof of the trailer and then lifted the ladder to the sign.

Battle Of Atlantic Place -Needs Our Support!!!

Battle of Atlantic Place will tell the story of Canadian’s achievement during the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII. This will not be a museum, but an innovative, experiential centre illuminating the whole story, from fighting U-Boats, to support by hundreds of communities across Canada building ships, supplying goods and material to win the longest battle in the history of man.

Located on the beautiful Halifax waterfront, the building will house the centre and will be architecturally breath-taking; with a glass wall facing the harbour, inside HMCS SACKVILLE, the last surviving corvette from WWII will be preserved with a Canso Flying Boat suspended overhead. The building will be as recognized as the Opera House in Australia and carry the same importance to Canadian’s as the Vimy Ridge Memorial and Juno Beach Centre.
